Abstract

A prosthetic device control apparatus is disclosed. The control apparatus includes at least one sensor worn by a user. The sensor(s) determines a user's movement. Also, a control module in communication with the sensor(s). The control module communicates movement information to a prosthetic. Also, a method for controlling a prosthetic device is disclosed. The method includes sensing a user's movement, communicating the movement through a control module to a prosthetic device; and controlling the movement of a prosthetic device.
